Ksenia Romanenko has joined the LFFFHCfSS – The Luxuriant Flowing, Former, or Facial Hair Club for Social Scientists. She says:

I’m a junior researcher involved in research projects on social anthropology, higher education research, and science communication. I guess my flowing hair often helps me to make a good impression during interviews and other moments of qualitative data collection.

There is no doubt that I have amazing hair. On my Facebook page, many of the posts deal with my hair. Note the number of followers (over 50k people). My studies are concerned mainly with long term cultivation effect of TV viewing and the appearance of objectionable content on the home screen.

Clare Din has joined the LFHCfS – The Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. She says:

I have been told I have amazing hair ever since I was a little lass. My friends usually describe me as the Asian girl with the big smile and long, flowing hair. I am an information technology director who supports and enables the computing needs of researchers across several departments. When my researchers are finally tired of looking and feeling like Neanderthals hunched over their computer screens, I use my skills as a yoga teacher to make them Homo Erectus again..

Philipp Weisser has joined the LFHCfS – The Luxuriant Facial Hair Club for Scientists. She says:

During my medical research in the field of radiology at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University I grew a magnificent, luxuriant facial hair. The reason for that is multifactorial. First of all, science lets grow magnificent, luxuriant facial hair. Further more, „radiation makes beautiful” (old German radiologist saying). Last but not least, my beard is a homage to the Godfather of science in radiology, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. The luxuriant flowing hair I had as a medical student perhaps qualifies me also for the Luxuriant Former Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS).“ .

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen joins the LFHCfS (Luxuriant Facial Hair Club for Scientists)

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923) has joined the Historical Honorary Members of the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, LFHCfS

Known as the “Father of Radiology”, he discovered and investigated X-Rays while experimenting with vacuum tubes in 1895.  He named them "X-Rays" because they were an unknown form of radiation and he refused to patent his discovery.  He received the very first Nobel Prize in Physics (1901).  Other honors include a peak in Antarctica, a radioactive element (Rg), and a unit of measurement named in his honor.

Nov 8th, the anniversary of his discovery, is observed both as International Day of Radiology and also as World Radiography Day.

HAIR LEGACY
Images of Röntgen’s beard helped inspire Radiologist Philipp Weisser to grow his own beard, which in turn qualified him to join the hair club.

"…Last but not least, my beard is a homage to the Godfather of science in radiology, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen."       – P. Weisser, LFHCfS

Mr. Weisser mentioned this inspiration when he joined the LFHCfS, prompting the club to investigate and decide that, yes, Röntgren did indeed have impressive facial hair!

Brendon W. Smith has joined the LFHCfS – The Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. He says:

I began growing my hair in 2013, during graduate school in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Illinois. I was dissatisfied with my clean-cut look, and was seeking a style that would express my individuality, rebelliousness, and love of rock music. As my dissertation grew, so did my hair. It developed into a flowing mane of chestnut curls. In a paramount example of my love of hair and science, I shared a video in Washington, D.C. prior to the March for Science. I defended the importance of science as my locks freely cascaded past my clavicle onto my AAAS Leonardo da Vinci t-shirt. Feast your eyes on the screenshot I have provided.

Emily Hofstetter has joined the Luxuriant Flowing, Former, or Facial Hair Club for Social Scientists™ (LFFFHCfSS). She says:

While considering an academic career, I quickly realized that an ability to afford hair cuts was a necessary sacrifice, and have been practicing said asceticism ever since. As of 2018 my hair reaches my knees, and I can but pray my wisdom grows with the same dogged persistence. My locks hide tidily in a bun most days, allowing me to reveal my hair in a highly effective display whenever I wish to astonish students and emphasize the effects of Goffmanian front and performance in everyday life.

“They’ll never let you have long hair in the real world. You’ll never get a real job looking like a hippy.” I was told in small-town Texas.  Well I showed them!  I showed them all!!! —especially the blind patients whose visual prostheses I help to develop. (The young me is shown in this photo flanked by inspirations and Nobel Laureates David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel.) Now I now apply my talents to bionic vision and inspiring future generations of luxuriantly coiffed young scientists.

Chantal Roggeman has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists™ (LFHCfS). She says:

I have been told I may never cut my hair, because people would no longer recognize me. Indeed, in international gatherings, I am recognized as “the woman with the long blond hair”. Blond is my trademark, and I enjoy making “dumb blond” jokes in the first person. I have occasionally colored my hair blue, green, orange, purple, pink and fluo-yellow, which I then classify as “artificial intelligence”.

I Would Code Anything for Love (but I Won’t Code That)

Taking the term “Rockstar Programmer” to a new level—well, perhaps they’re half way there?—Dylan Beattie has developed a programming language called Rockstar that allows people to live their wildest dream of writing code that resembles a 1980s rock song: Rockstar is designed for creating computer programs that are also song lyrics, and is heavily influenced by the lyrical conventions of 1980s hard rock and power ballads.

A snippet of example code from Rockstar’s GitHub page illustrates that rock and roll never forgets.

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating. And from what I’ve seen I believe ’em.

Rockstar is a Turing-complete programming language, so one can use it to simulate any Turing machine. And it goes on and on and on.

And if you’ve got too much time on your hands, perhaps you may even want to give it a try?

(Thanks to investigator Samuel Arbesman for bringing this to our attention.)

Note: The song that motivated the entry title is actually from the 1990s, and I hope you caught that. Rock on!

Danielle Norberg has joined the Luxuriant Flowing, Former, or Facial Hair Club for Social Scientists™ (LFFFHCfSS). She says:

Some cultures see long hair as part of or as an extension to their sensory system; members of such cultures believe or even experience the loss of important abilities when their hair is cut. For others, their long hair contains their strength. My academic discipline refrains from discounting such beliefs and experiences. So I cannot possibly run the risk of losing my academic or other abilities by ever cutting my hair short. Ergo, for the sake of research and my academic future I must keep my hair as long as possible. Everything else would be irresponsible.

The 2018 Members Gallery for The Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists is now available to the public.
Once a year, we gather the listings of all the new inductees into such a gallery – before that, new inductees are only seen individually (in the Improbable Blog) as they join throughout the year.
We invite you to admire these new members, their accomplishments, and also their hair.

This new gallery includes the 2018 inductees into all 6 sibling hair clubs:

    • The Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists™ (LFHCfS)
    • The Luxuriant Former Hair Club for Scientists™ (LFHCfS)
    • The Luxuriant Facial Hair Club for Scientists™ (LFHCfS)
    • The Luxuriant Flowing, Former, or Facial Hair Club for Social Scientists™ (LFFFHCfSS)
    • The Luxuriant Flowing, Former, or Facial Hair Club for Engineers™ (LFFFHCfE)
    • The Luxuriant Flowing, Former, or Facial Hair Club for Science Journalists™ (LFFFHCfSJ)

THE STATE of the HAIR CLUBS
The state of the hair clubs is strong! In 2018 the clubs gained 6 new members from 5 countries, for a grand total of 567 members. We have not finished calculating the aggregate length of the new members’ hair.

NOMINATE for MEMBERSHIP
Do you believe that you or someone you know qualifies to be in one of these luxuriant flowing hair clubs for scientists? Or is there someone who deserves to be an Historical Honorary member?

NOTE of DISTINCTION
Please note that the LFHCfS is distinct from the “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men”. That said, we enjoyed watching their video. Bravo gents. Let us know if any of you are also a scientist.

I’m a 21-year-old female scientist, I have just finished my BSc in Computer Science at The University of York, UK. I am currently enjoying the summer holidays before continuing with a MSc at UCL in London (Cognitive and Decision Sciences MSc). My main academic interests involve anything related to brains. I have had various forms of luxuriant (I hope) hair, ranging in colour from red to purple to blonde to blue-black to brown and back to red, at varying lengths. PS: Is there an official Facebook group for the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists? If not, there should be!
